Focus 2026! What a week that was!

My first time going and I felt nervous and overwhelmed but left feeling overfilled with the Holy Spirit and at peace! What a time to be a Christian than now.

Some of our Big Top highlights from @htbfocus

We are deeply thankful to be part of this incredible network of churches, for the faithful leaders, dedicated teams and everyone who serves so generously to strengthen their local church.

It was a joy to celebrate and pray over the new church plants commissioned this weekend. May the Lord bless and keep them, and make His face shine upon them as they step into all He has called them to.❤️‍🔥

God is on the move, and we give Him all the glory!

FOCUS ‘26 - The Lord is on the Move

We had a phenomenal weekend at Focus with our @saint.church and @revitalisetrust family - catching up with friends, amazing worship, talks and prayer ministry, quality community, rich conversations, and a whole lot of fun!

It is 50 years since Sandy Millar first arrived at HTB, and it’s remarkable to see all God has done since. Thanks to @algordon.co @archiecoates for leading us this weekend.

Three things stood out to me:

1/ Unity is powerful. Churches gather in the middle of nowhere each year with humility, laying down their banners to lift up Jesus. They worship, pray, and encourage one another as one family. Over the next few weeks, other church networks will gather in the UK and they are all praying for each other - no competition or boasting, other than in Christ. In a divided age, this kind of unity is refreshing - and it’s no surprise God is blessing it.

2/ Intensity is not a fruit of the Spirit. Pursuing holiness or encounter doesn’t have to mean intensity. Focus was full of faith, authenticity, joy and lightness. We still prayed for healing (and people were healed), for infilling of the spirit and tongues (and people received), but it was done with lightness that comes from a deep faith that God loves to minister to His people. One of my favorite moments was seeing the dozens of church plants sent out in a prayer tunnel - overwhelming hope and joy filled the room as we prayed over them.

3/ It’s all about the Great commission. From Alpha stories to church planting, healing, prayer ministry, and various pastors gatherings; everything pointed back to Jesus’ call to make disciples. It was a timely reminder to keep the main thing the main thing. It’s not unity that ultimately holds us together; it’s the mission we share.

We’re so honoured to play our part through @neighbourhood.au in the story God is continuing to write across this incredible network. These are exciting days.

Over the next week and a bit tens of thousands of people will be gathering together to worship Jesus right across the UK at @htbfocus @wildfires_festival @newwineengland and many more 🙌

Thousands and thousands of people of every age and stage camping, queuing for showers, tripping over tents in the dark, all to seek God and hear from him 🗣️

At this moment the longing for all these gatherings is the same - that there might be a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit so that we might see this nation transformed! 🔥

So, if you pray, please pray!

- for every child and youth that they might make great friendships and feel God draw close 💨

- for every person that they would be filled afresh with the very Spirit of God 🔥

- for divine connections; kingdom encounters and new initiatives to be founded 🚀

- for joy and laughter and encouragement and restored hope 🫶

- for people to return full of faith and set on fire with love for Jesus 🙌

@lead_conf - LC 2026… what a gift. ✨

We’ve been attending Leadership Conference for over a decade now, and every single year I leave deeply moved, inspired, and recharged. This year was no exception.

2026 was also great because, for the very first time, I had the opportunity to speak at a seminar on creativity. Thank you @algordon.co , @renaissance.movement and the amazing people of Leadership Conference for creating such a special space for these conversations.

One of the most inspiring parts of the experience was listening to people so boldly living out their faith through their work.

@mrs.m_official ‘s conversation with Nicky Gumbel at Royal Albert Hall sharing the impact journey of Higher Life Foundation and the millions of lives the foundation has touched, especially the number of people who have received scholarships and educational support.

Our seminar with Steve Chao @kungfu_photography sharing his experience from years of journalism across war zones and conflict regions and how he continually relies on the presence of God in those moments, to listening to the brilliant Daniel @dc3media speak about creating music inspired by the Holy Spirit.

It was powerful, honest, and deeply encouraging. I was also grateful for the opportunity to share a little about the work we do and our vision.

Beyond the seminars and sessions, what always stays with me are the testimonies, the worship, the conversations in between, spending time with family and the beautiful people you meet from all over the world.

There’s something so beautiful about gathering with people who love Jesus, are passionate about faith, purpose, creativity, and service.

I’m also deeply inspired by the work of Alpha and the incredible impact it’s having globally. Seeing how many more lives were touched through Alpha in 2025 (over 2.8 million people across 158 Countries) is such an encouragement, and I’m so grateful to be part of this family.

Until next year, @lead_conf ❤️
